Unraveling the Mechanisms of Ultrasound-Induced Mechanical Degradation of Microgels: Effects of Mechanoresponsive Crosslinks, Softness, and Core-Shell Architecture
Alexander V. Petrunin, Susanne Braun, Felix J. Byn +6
Ultrasound-induced degradation of soft polymeric colloids, like microgels, as well as a controlled drug release enabled by mechanoresponsive bonds, has recently attracted considera…

Hierarchical Dynamics and Time-Length Scale Superposition in Glassy Suspensions of Ultra-Low Crosslinked Microgels
A. Martinelli, R. Elancheliyan, A. Scotti +3
We employ small-angle X-ray and dynamic light scattering to investigate the microscopic structure and dynamics of dense suspensions of ultra-low crosslinked (ULC) poly(N-isopropyla…

Suspensions of small ultra-soft colloids remain liquids in overcrowded conditions
Nikolaos A. Burger, Alexander V. Petrunin, Ann E. Terry Ralf Schweins +1
Concentrated suspensions of small ultra-soft colloids (ultra-low crosslinked microgels) are investigated with scattering and steady shear rheology to capture their equilibrium dyna…
